Microsoft will end Cortana support for iOS and Android in 2021, as well as for the Harman Kardon Invoke speaker and the first version of the Surface Headphones.
Microsoft is ending support for Cortana on mobile devices and on the Harman Kardon Invoke speaker, as the digital assistant continues to be primed for Microsoft 365.
Microsoft said that it will end support for third-party Cortana skills on September 7, which will be followed by the shutdown of the digital assistant’s iOS and Android apps in early 2021. Mobile device owners are advised to utilize Cortana’s integration in Windows 10, Outlook mobile, and soon in the Teams mobile app.
The Cortana mobile app has been installed about 6.5 million times globally since launch, with 59% on Android and 41% on iOS, according to Sensor Tower.
